How to remove & add a Program using PowerShell command
I'll need to uninstall a software agent on a mass scale (thousands) & then install with another version
as doing so one by one is not feasible.
I have a way to send "Remote PowerShell" commands (though I could send Windows batch ie .bat
commands too but often this run into errors) to the various Windows servers. Below is the
output of sc queryex of the service & attached the software name (which is an msi file ie uninstall
Agent-Windows-8.0.0-1732.x
& then reinstall with Agent-Windows-9.0.0-5001.x
sc queryex ds_agent
SERVICE_NAME: ds_agent
TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE : 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0

Sunhux,
I would use psexec with the bat file that you have. You can run the psexec command against a list of machines inputting your username and password one time and it will hit all those machines with the credentials
